Candle Snuffers

Every candle lover needs a candle snuffer. They prevent candle smoke from leaving buildup on items in the home. They also prevent wax from blowing onto walls, furnishings or carpetings. For these reasons, snuffing is better than huffing. Candle snuffers are available in many styles and materials.

Candle snuffer information
A candle snuffer looks like a metal handle with a bell on the end. This simple device is designed to extinguish the flame of a burning candle. It is very easy to use, simply hold the snuffer over the flame and within seconds the flame is extinguished. Snuffers also offer the advantage of trapping ash and soot inside instead of leaving a black residue on the candle or candle holder. They also keep wicks safely centered and prevent wax from being blown onto furnishings. While most models look like a long handled bell, there are additional designs now on the market.

Snuffer styles
The brass snuffer with a wooden handle is probably the most popular and least expensive snuffer style. These are usually available in any store where candles are sold. Decorative snuffers are available for those who want something more unique. These can be crafted of pewter or sterling silver and make a wonderful gift. Other popular snuffer styles include lighthouses, flowers and animal heads. Sports and nature-themed snuffers are other available styles. For Christmas, a holiday themed snuffer would make a great gift.

A candle snuffer is an easy and convenient way to eliminate soot or wax buildup. They also help protect furniture and carpets. They're available in many styles and make great gifts!
